林轩皱了皱眉，月儿这话听着没错，但怎么有种怪怪的感觉，不过他也没有心情仔细思量什么，按照刚洲那侍女所说，其中一场针对凝丹期够士的交易会马上就耍开始了。(到顶点)
Lin Xuan frowned. Moon's words made sense, but there was something off about them. However, he didn't have the time or mood to ponder it further. According to Jia Zhou’s maidservant, a transaction meeting for condensation core practitioners would be starting soon.
zài xuán fèng mén zhī shí ， jǐn jǐn shì yī zuò dī jí fāng shì jiù ràng lín xuān dà gǎn xìng qù ， zài zhè lǐ ， xiǎng bì yīng gāi shōu huò bù fēi cái shì 。
在玄凤门之时，仅仅是一座低级坊市就让林轩大感兴趣，在这里，想必应该收获不菲才是。
At the Xuanfeng Sect, even a low-level market had piqued Lin Xuan's interest. Here, he was sure to gain much more.
niàn jí zhì cǐ ， lín xuān kuài bù zǒu le chū qù 。
念及至此，林轩快步走了出去。
With that thought in mind, Lin Xuan quickly stepped out.
jiē dào shàng xiū shì hěn duō ， bù guò shí zhī dōu shì zhù jī qī de ， kàn lái zhè suǒ wèi de yāo qǐng hán ， qí shí dào yě bìng bù nán huò dé 。
街道上修士很多，不过十之都是筑基期的，看来这所谓的邀请函，其实倒也并不难获得。
The street was bustling with cultivators, but most were at the foundation establishment stage. It seemed this so-called invitation wasn't as hard to obtain as one might think.
xìng ér jiāng jiāo yì huì de fāng wèi dǎ tàn dé hěn qīng chǔ ， lín xuān méi fèi duō dà lì qì jiù lái dào le yī chù gé lóu 。
杏儿将交易会的方位打探得很清楚，林轩没费多大力气就来到了一处阁楼。
Xing'er had clearly scouted the location of the transaction meeting. Without much effort, Lin Xuan arrived at a pavilion.
cǐ lóu suī rán yě shì mù zhì jié gòu ， què jù dà yì cháng ， zhàn dì zú yǒu qiān zhàng zhī guǎng ， bù guò gè zhǒng qí yì jiàn zhù lín xuān kàn dé duō le ， zì rán bú huì chà yì zhī sè 。
此楼虽然也是木制结构，却巨大异常，占地足有千丈之广，不过各种奇异建筑林轩看得多了，自然不会诧异之色。
Although it was made of wood, the pavilion was enormous, covering nearly a thousand feet in width. Lin Xuan had seen many strange buildings before and showed no surprise.
gé lóu xiǎn de qì yáo páng bó ， dà mén kǒu zhàn zhe liǎng míng shēn chuān chì hóng páo de xiū xiān zhě ， sān shí chū tóu ， kàn jiàn lín xuān huǎn bù zǒu lái ， liǎng rén máng wān yāo xíng lǐ ， qí zhōng yī zǎ ， gōng jìng de kāi kǒu le ：“ huān yíng qián bèi lái jiā shī de jiāo huàn huì pěng chǎng ， àn zhào guī jǔ ， xū yào jiāo nà liǎng bǎi kuài jīng shí 。”
阁楼显得气窑磅礴，大门口站着两名身穿赤红袍的修仙者，三十出头，看见林轩缓步走来，两人忙弯腰行礼，其中一咋，恭敬的开口了：“欢迎前辈来家师的交换会捧场，按照规矩，需要交纳两百块晶石。”
The pavilion exuded grandeur. Two cultivators wearing crimson robes stood by the entrance, around thirty years old. They bowed respectfully as Lin Xuan approached. One of them said, "Welcome, Senior, to our master's exchange meeting. According to the rules, you need to pay two hundred crystal stones."
， liǎng bǎi kuài jīng shí ？ yī lín xuān yǎn zhōng mén guò yī sī chà yì ， bù guò jì rán shì guī jǔ ， tā yě méi yǒu fēn biàn de yì si ， fǎn zhèng duì zì jǐ ér yán ， bù guò shì máo máo yǔ ， shēn chū shǒu lái ， zài chǔ wù dài shàng yīn pāi ， xiá guāng zhī zhōng ， yī xiǎo duī jīng shí jiù chū xiàn zài duì fāng de miàn qián 。
，两百块晶石？一林轩眼中门过一丝诧异，不过既然是规矩，他也没有分辨的意思，反正对自己而言，不过是毛毛雨，伸出手来，在储物袋上阴拍，霞光之中，一小堆晶石就出现在对方的面前。
Two hundred crystal stones? Lin Xuan’s eyes widened in surprise. However, since it was a rule, he didn't question it. For him, it was just a drop in the bucket. He reached out and tapped his storage bracelet. A pile of crystal stones appeared before them.
nà rén shén shí sǎo guò ， shù mù méi cuò ， liǎn shàng de xiào róng yuè hé shàn le ：“ qián bèi zhēn shì kāng kǎi ， kuài qǐng jìn ， wǎn bèi gōng zhù nín zài lǐ miàn huàn dào suǒ xū de wù pǐn 。”
那人神识扫过，数目没错，脸上的笑容越和善了：“前辈真是慷慨，快请进，晚辈恭祝您在里面换到所需的物品。”
The man scanned with his divine sense; the number was correct. His smile grew more pleasant. "Senior is truly generous. Please come inside. This junior wishes you good luck in finding what you need."
yī biān shuō ， yī biān yīn qíng de jiāng dà mén dǎ kāi ， lín xuān tóu ， háo bù yóu yù de kuà bù ér rù 。
一边说，一边殷情的将大门打开，林轩头，毫不犹豫的跨步而入。
He opened the door warmly, and Lin Xuan stepped in without hesitation.
liǎng rén sōng le kǒu qì ， zhēn xī wàng suǒ yǒu xiū shì dōu néng xiàng zhè wèi qián bèi yī yàng tōng qíng dá lǐ ， cān jiā sī rén xìng zhì dì jiāo yì huì xū yào fù yǔ jīng shí ， suī rán zhè shì yìn shān bù chéng wén de guī jǔ ， dàn bìng fēi měi yí gè níng dān qī xiū xiān zhě dōu nà me hǎo shuō huà ， yù jiàn hú jiǎo mán chán zhī rén ， kě shì kǔ le tā men zhè xiē kān mén de dì zǐ 。
两人松了口气，真希望所有修士都能像这位前辈一样通情达理，参加私人性质的交易会需要付予晶石，虽然这是印山不成文的规矩，但并非每一个凝丹期修仙者都那么好说话，遇见胡搅蛮缠之人，可是苦了他们这些看门的弟子。
The two sighed in relief. They wished all cultivators could be as reasonable as this senior. Participating in a private transaction meeting required paying crystal stones, though it was an unwritten rule on Mount Yinshan. Not every condensation core cultivator was so accommodating; those who were obstinate made their guards' lives miserable.
lín xuān jìn rù dà mén yǐ hòu ， lì kè mò 」 guò lái yī míng tóng zi yǐn lù ， jiāng tā dài dào yī wèn kuān guǎng de dà tīng zhōng 。
林轩进入大门以后，立刻默」过来一名童子引路，将他带到一问宽广的大厅中。
After entering the door, Lin Xuan was led by a child to a spacious hall. He sized up the room, which was about several hundred feet wide and lavishly decorated.
lín xuān fàng yǎn dǎ liàng ， cǐ tīng yuē yǒu shù bǎi zhàng zhī guǎng ， zhì dé huá měi yì cháng 。
林轩放眼打量，此厅约有数百丈之广，置得华美异常。
However, there weren't many cultivators present—only around twenty or so.
rán ér xiū shì què bìng bú shì hěn duō ， jǐn yǒu liáo liáo de èr sān shí dīng ，。
然而修士却并不是很多，仅有寥寥的二三十叮，。
Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with disappointment. Nevertheless, as they say, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Although this transaction meeting wasn't as grand as expected, Lin Xuan had no reason to leave in a huff. He might as well wait and see if there were any unexpected gains.
lín xuān jiàn le ， yǎn zhōng bù yóu de shǎn guò yī sī shī wàng zhī sè ， bù guò sú huà shuō dé hǎo ， jì lái zhī ， zé ān zhī suī rán cǐ cì jiāo yì huì de guī mó bù jìn rú rén yì ， dàn lín xuān yě méi yǒu fú xiù lí qù de dào lǐ ， gū qiě kàn kàn zài shuō ， shuō bù dìng huì yǒu yì wài shōu huò 。
林轩见了，眼中不由得闪过一丝失望之色，不过俗话说得好，既来之，则安之虽然此次交易会的规模不尽如人意，但林轩也没有拂袖离去的道理，姑且看看再说，说不定会有意外收获。
With such thoughts, Lin Xuan sat silently on a chair without drawing attention.
bào zhe zhè yàng de xiǎng fǎ ， lín xuān bù dòng shēng sè de zài yī zhāng yǐ zi shàng zuò xià 。
抱着这样的想法，林轩不动声色的在一张椅子上坐下。
He released his divine sense and began observing the other cultivators around him.
tóng shí fàng chū shén shí ， kāi shǐ dǎ liàng sì zhōu de xiū shì 。
同时放出神识，开始打量四周的修士。
"Eh?"
“ yí ？”
“咦？”
Lin Xuan's eyebrows raised in surprise. There were twenty-two cultivators in total, most at the condensation core stage. However, one young woman, about seventeen or eighteen years old, was a foundation establishment cultivator.
lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo ， liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn chà yì ， yī gòng èr shí èr míng xiū xiān zhě 、 jué dà duō shù dōu shì níng tīng qī de ， rán ér qí zhōng yǒu yī míng shí qī bā suì de nǚ zǐ ， zé shì zhù jī qī xiū shì 。
林轩眉头一挑，脸上露出几分诧异，一共二十二名修仙者、绝大多数都是凝厅期的，然而其中有一名十七八岁的女子，则是筑基期修士。
She had an ordinary appearance and figure; she could easily be overlooked if thrown into a crowd. Yet among these condensation core experts, her small stature as a foundation establishment cultivator stood out.
cǐ nǚ bù lùn róng mào shēn cái ， dōu shí fēn pǔ tōng ， shǔ yú diū jìn rén duī jiù hěn róng yì bèi yí wàng de nà zhǒng ， rán ér cǐ shí zài zuò de dōu shì níng dān qī gāo shǒu ， tā yī míng xiǎo xiǎo de zhù jī qī xiū shì jiù xiǎn de shí fēn de yǐn rén zhù mù 。
此女不论容貌身材，都十分普通，属于丢进人堆就很容易被遗忘的那种，然而此时在座的都是凝丹期高手，她一名小小的筑基期修士就显得十分的引人注目。
Noticing Lin Xuan's gaze, the young woman turned around and glared at him fiercely.
sì hū yě chá jué dào lín xuān de mù guāng ， cǐ nǚ huí guò tóu ， hěn hěn de dèng le tā yī yǎn 。
似乎也察觉到林轩的目光，此女回过头，狠狠的瞪了他一眼。
Lin Xuan was taken aback. In the cultivation world, where ranks were strict, a foundation establishment cultivator daring to show their claws to someone like himself—such a thing had never been heard of!
lín xuān bù yóu de mǎn miàn è rán ， xiū xiān jiè děng jí sēn yán ， zhù jī qī xiū shì gǎn xiàng zì jǐ xiǎn lù zhǎo yá ， zhè zhǒng shì ， bié shuō jiàn ， tīng yě méi yǒu tīng shuō guò a ！
林轩不由得满面愕然，修仙界等级森严，筑基期修士敢像自己显露爪牙，这种事，别说见，听也没有听说过啊！
Interest flickered on Lin Xuan’s face as he withdrew his gaze.
lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū gǎn xìng qù zhī sè ， dàn yě jiāng mù guāng shōu huí le 。
林轩脸上露出感兴趣之色，但也将目光收回了。
"Haha, it seems this is your first time meeting Lady Jinling," a warm voice said. Lin Xuan turned around and saw an elderly man with a fair complexion beside him. He was in his fifties, at the late condensation core stage.
“ hē hē ， kàn lái dào shì dì yī cì jiàn dào zhè wèi jīn líng gū niáng le 。“ yī hé xù de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān huí guò tóu ， shì yī míng zuò zài zì jǐ shēn biān de bái miàn lǎo zhě ， cǐ rén dà yuē wǔ shí chū tóu ， níng dān zhōng qī zuǒ yòu 。
“呵呵，看来道是第一次见到这位金灵姑娘了。“一和煦的声音传入耳朵，林轩回过头，是一名坐在自己身边的白面老者，此人大约五十出头，凝丹中期左右。
"Indeed, I've been diligently cultivating in my cave for years and only recently ventured out." Lin Xuan gave a slight bow.
“ dào suǒ yán bù cuò ， lín mǒu jìn nián lái yì zhí zài dòng fǔ zhōng kǔ xiū ， zuì jìn cái chū lái zǒu dòng 。 yī lín xuān bào le bào quán ， shí fēn hǎo de kāi kǒu 。
“道所言不错，林某近年来一直在洞府中苦修，最近才出来走动。一林轩抱了抱拳，十分好的开口。
"That explains it. Lady Jinling has only just entered the cultivation world; no wonder you don't know her," said the elderly man.
“ zhè jiù nán guài le ， zhè wèi jīn líng gū niáng yě chū xiàn zài xiū xiān jiè wèi jiǔ ， nán guài dào bù rèn shí le 。”
“这就难怪了，这位金灵姑娘也出现在修仙界未久，难怪道不认识了。”
"Oh? Is this girl famous?" Lin Xuan’s expression showed skepticism. A mere foundation establishment cultivator, after all.
“ ó ， cǐ nǚ hěn yǒu míng me ？， lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū bù yǐ wéi rán zhī sè ， qū qū yī míng zhù jī qī xiū xiān zhě 。
“哦，此女很有名么？，林轩脸上露出不以为然之色，区区一名筑基期修仙者。
"Haha, I can’t say that随意, or else Lady Jinling might take offense and cause me trouble." The elderly man quickly made a gesture and began whispering to him.
， hē hē ， dào zhè huà kě bù néng luàn shuō ， rú guǒ bèi jīn gū niáng tīng jiàn suī bù zhì yú rě lái shā shēn dà huò ， dàn yě huì píng kōng zhāo lái yī cháng dà má fán de 。“ bái miàn lǎo zhě máng shǐ le gè yǎn sè ， zuǐ chún wēi dòng ， yǐ gǎi wéi chuán yīn le 。
，呵呵，道这话可不能乱说，如果被金姑娘听见虽不至于惹来杀身大祸，但也会凭空招来一场大麻烦的。“白面老者忙使了个眼色，嘴唇微动，已改为传音了。
"Ah?" Lin Xuan's interest deepened. "Could this girl have some significant background?"
“ ó ？” lín xuān liǎn shàng gǎn xìng qù zhī sè yuè nóng ：“ nán dào cǐ nǚ dà yǒu lái lì ？”
“哦？”林轩脸上感兴趣之色越浓：“难道此女大有来历？”
"You're right. Although her cultivation level is only at the foundation establishment stage, she is the direct granddaughter of Old Monster Jin. It’s said that she has an extremely rare pure golden attribute spirit root, which is why the old monster dotes on her immensely," the elderly man whispered slowly, a hint of envy in his expression.
“ dào suǒ liào méi cuò ， cǐ nǚ xiū wèi suī rán zhǐ dào zhù jī qī ， dàn què shì jīn lǎo guài de dí qīn sūn nǚ ， ér qiě tīng shuō shì hǎn jiàn de chún jīn shǔ xìng de líng gēn ， gù ér lǎo guài wù zhōng ài wú bǐ 。， bái miàn lǎo zhě huǎn huǎn chuán yīn ， liǎn shàng lù chū yī sī xiàn mù de biǎo qíng 。
“道所料没错，此女修为虽然只到筑基期，但却是金老怪的嫡亲孙女，而且听说是罕见的纯金属性的灵根，故而老怪物钟爱无比。，白面老者缓缓传音，脸上露出一丝羡慕的表情。
"Pure golden attribute?"
“ chún jīn shǔ xìng ？”
“纯金属性？”
Lin Xuan's eyebrows rose. He was somewhat surprised. It was well known that spirit roots had five-element attributes, with one being dominant, but they often contained some impurities.
lín xuān méi tóu yī tiāo ， xīn zhōng yě yǒu xiē hài yì ， zhòng suǒ zhōu zhī ， suǒ wèi de líng gēn dōu jù yǒu wǔ xíng shǔ xìng ， yǐ qí zhōng yī zhǒng wéi zhǔ ， dàn yòu huò duō huò shǎo dōu yǒu xiē zá zhì 。
林轩眉头一挑，心中也有些骇异，众所周知，所谓的灵根都具有五行属性，以其中一种为主，但又或多或少都有些杂质。
Such pure spirit roots were said to be the result of a special mutation, with such low odds as to be almost impossible. While not necessarily superior to divine spirit roots, their power when used for certain specific cultivation techniques was beyond imagination!
jù shuō zhè zhǒng chún shǔ xìng de líng gēn nǎi shì jīng yóu mǒu zhǒng tè shū biàn yì ， jī lǜ dī dé ràng rén wú yǔ ， bù néng shuō bǐ shèng líng gēn yōu yì ， dàn ruò shì xiū liàn mǒu cǐ tè shū gōng fǎ ， wēi lì zhī dà ， zé yuǎn chāo xiǎng xiàng a ！
据说这种纯属性的灵根乃是经由某种特殊变异，几率低得让人无语，不能说比圣灵根优异，但若是修炼某此特殊功法，威力之大，则远超想象啊！
As for Old Monster Jin, Lin Xuan wasn't particularly concerned; he guessed it was just an early-stage yuanxian cultivator. With his abilities, there was nothing to fear.
zhì yú nà jīn lǎo guài ， lín xuān dào méi zěn me zài yì ， gū jì yě jiù yī yuán yīng qī xiū shì ér yǐ ， yǐ tā de shén tōng ， zì rán méi shén me hǎo gù jì 。
至于那金老怪，林轩倒没怎么在意，估计也就一元婴期修士而已，以他的神通，自然没什么好顾忌。
"Given her unique资质, she will eventually enter the condensation core stage. Besides, with such a powerful old monster backing her, even we seniors must give way when encountering her."
“ cǐ nǚ zī zhì tè shū ， jìn rù níng dān qī shì chí zǎo de ， hé kuàng bèi hòu yòu yǒu yī shén tōng guǎng dà de lǎo guài wù chǒng zhe ， gù ér biàn shì wǒ men zhè xiē qián bèi ， yù jiàn cǐ nǚ ， yě bù dé bù ràng zhe yī xiē 。”
“此女资质特殊，进入凝丹期是迟早的，何况背后又有一神通广大的老怪物宠着，故而便是我们这些前辈，遇见此女，也不得不让着一些。”
"I see," Lin Xuan nodded but didn't place much importance on it.
“ yuán lái rú cǐ 。” lín xuān le tóu ， dào yě méi yǒu zěn me fàng zài xīn zhōng 。
“原来如此。”林轩了头，倒也没有怎么放在心中。
Another incense stick's worth of time passed before another dozen or so cultivators arrived, bringing the total to twenty-seven. Although still few, it was better than earlier.
yòu děng le yuē yī zhù xiāng zhī jiǔ ， lù lù xù xù lái le jǐ míng xiū xiān zhě cān jiā jiāo yì huì de xiū shì jǐ yǒu èr shí qī míng zhī duō ， lín xuān suī rán réng rì xián shǎo ， dàn zǒng suàn bǐ gāng cái hǎo yī xiē le 。
又等了约一炷香之久，陆陆续续来了几名修仙者参加交易会的修士己有二十七名之多，林轩虽然仍日嫌少，但总算比刚才好一些了。
After a while, no more new arrivals came. The early-comers grew impatient. A cultivator in a fiery red robe stood up and greeted everyone with a bow: "Welcome all, to Fire Annun's Transaction Meeting. I have the honor of hosting this private transaction today, hoping everyone can find what they need."
yòu děng le yī huì er ， zài bù jiàn yǒu xīn rén jìn lái ， xiān dào de xiū shì yǐ yǒu xiē bù nài fán ， yī míng shēn chuān huǒ hóng páo de xiū shì zhàn le qǐ lái ， chōng qí tā rén bào le bào quán ：“ huān yíng zhū wèi dào guāng 」 lín huǒ xuān mèn ， léi mǒu zài cǐ yǒu lǐ le ， rú jīn zhēn zhèng de yìn shān shèng huì shàng wèi zhèng shì kāi shǐ ， bù guò léi mǒu yě jiè zhè ge jī huì jǔ xíng yī cháng sī xià lǐ de jiāo yì ， xī wàng dà jiā dōu néng huàn dào zì jǐ suǒ xū yào de dōng xī 。”
又等了一会儿，再不见有新人进来，先到的修士已有些不耐烦，一名身穿火红袍的修士站了起来，冲其他人抱了抱拳：“欢迎诸位道光」临火宣闷，雷某在此有理了，如今真正的印山盛会尚未正式开始，不过雷某也借这个机会举行一场私下里的交易，希望大家都能换到自己所需要的东西。”
He paused, scanning the crowd. "Indeed, fewer people came than expected. Since only twenty or so are here, we won't use an auction format. Each of you bring out your treasures and introduce their functions before exchanging them. Who among you is willing to volunteer first?"
shuō dào zhè lǐ ， tā dùn le yī dùn ， sǎo shì le yī yǎn zhòng rén ：“ ń ， lái de dào bǐ zài xià yù gū de shǎo le yī xiē ， jì rán zhǐ yǒu èr shí jǐ rén ， nà wǒ men yě bù xū cǎi yòng pāi mài de xíng shì ， zhū wèi dào yī yī jiāng dài lái de bǎo wù qǔ chū ， jiè shào yī xià gōng yòng rán hòu jiù kě yǐ kāi shǐ jiāo huàn le ， bù zhī dào nǎ wèi dào yuàn yì zì gào fèn yǒng ， wèi dà jiā dài yī zǎ ， tóu 。”
说到这里，他顿了一顿，扫视了一眼众人：“嗯，来的道比在下预估的少了一些，既然只有二十几人，那我们也不需采用拍卖的形式，诸位道一一将带来的宝物取出，介绍一下功用然后就可以开始交换了，不知道哪位道愿意自告奋勇，为大家带一咋，头。”
Lin Xuan wouldn’t be the first to act; instead, he released his divine sense to observe the host. Indeed, a condensation core后期 cultivator with immense妖力, but what attribute it was, remained unknown.
lín xuān dāng rán bú huì shuài xiān chū shǒu ， ér shì fàng chū shén shí ， sǎo shì le yī yǎn zhè jiāo huàn huì de zhǔ chí zhě ， bù cuò ， níng dān hòu qī de xiū xiān zhě ， ér qiě tǐ nèi yāo lì fēi cháng gòu bó ， jiù bù zhī dào shì hé zhǒng shǔ xìng de le 。
林轩当然不会率先出手，而是放出神识，扫视了一眼这交换会的主持者，不错，凝丹后期的修仙者，而且体内妖力非常够礴，就不知道是何种属性的了。

Lin Xuan frowned. Moon's words made sense, but there was something off about them. However, he didn't have the time or mood to ponder it further. According to Jia Zhou’s maidservant, a transaction meeting for condensation core practitioners would be starting soon.
At the Xuanfeng Sect, even a low-level market had piqued Lin Xuan's interest. Here, he was sure to gain much more.
